(01, 46-45)" This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in sounding trundling toys.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a toy of the foregoingcharacter wherein a acter wherein the crank portion'of the wheel supporting shaft of the carriage is'adjustable to vary the length of throw ofthe arms of the figure toy with the cymbals, carried by the carriage embodying spring supports to compensate for a variance in the length qftthrow of-gthe arms. r -2;.-'. With the above and other objects in view that willbecome apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing:-

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a sounding trundling toy constructed in accordance with the present invention;

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the toy with the head and garment of the toy figure removed to show the pivotal mounting for the arms of the toy figure;

Figure 3 is an enlarged side elevational view, partly broken away and shown in section with the garment of the toy figure removed and illustrating the spring mounting for the cymbals carried by the wheeled carriage;

Figure 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 3, showing the adjustable being illustrated as rectangular in form and embodying side walls 10, end walls 11 and a top wall 12, the carriage being open at its bottom or lower end as shown in Figure 4. A two-part axlecomprising axle sections 13 has the sections journalled at their outer ends with the side walls 10 .of. the carriage and projecting outwardly thereof to provide supports for. the ground wheels 5 14,.the' outer terminaliends 15 of the axle sections 13being reversely' bent into engagement with the adjacent wheel for locking the wheels to the shaft section.-. 1Thecarriage. isv provided with a handle bar structure 16 to efiect .trundling 10:

thereof.

The crank element is located at the inner adjacent ends of the axle. sections 13, being'designated in:general by the reference character 17 and including the formation of angle ends 18 15 on the axle sections 13 that. are received in socketed legs i a'crankarm 20. The angle endsc18 of theaxle' sections-13 are adjustably retained in the socketed legs 19 by means of the set screws 21,threaded.through the sides of said legs-and engaged with said angle ends as illustrated inFigures 4: and 5. i v .15 5A figure; toy 22, is mounted. upon .the wheeled carriage and. as shown in Figure 3 includes a post 23 rising from one end of the top wall 12 of the carriage with the upper end thereof tapered as at 24 to receive a socketed head 25 of a figure toy, this arrangement permitting the substitution of figure toys of any desired character. A rod 26 is journalled transversely of the 'post 23 and is provided with angle ends 2'7 to which are attached arms 28 to represent the arms of the figure toy 22. Each arm 28 is provided with a hand 29 that has a cymbal 30 attached thereto. The post 23 and arms 28 of the figure toy 22 are covered by a garment 31 and create the impression of a figure toy seated within the carriage.

Cymbals are carried by the carriage for cooperation with the cymbals 30 carried by the arms 28 and as shown in Figures 3 and 4 include a .bar 32 extending transversely of the carriage between the side walls 10 thereof adjacent the top wall 12, the bar 32 having a pair of coil springs 33 anchored at their lower ends thereto and respectively extending upwardly through openings 34 in the top wall 12 and each supporting a cymbal at its upper end in line with and to be contacted by cymbals carried by the arms 28.

The operating means for the arms 28 carrying the cymbals 30 includes a cross rod 36 connecting the arms 28 as shown in Figures 2 and 4 with a pitman rod 37 having an eye 38 at one end inclosing the rod 36 intermediate its 13 and crank arm 20 for reciprocating the pit-' man rod 3'? to raise and lower the arms 28 on their pivot rod. 26, the-cymbals 30' being raised and lowered. with the: arms 28 for engaging, the

cymbals supported by the spring members The length of throw'of the upon the bar 32. arms 28 may be varied by adjusting the crank arm 20 by means of socketed legs 19 on the-angle ends 18 of the axle section 13 to compensate for the difference in length of throw of the arms 28, the cymbals 35 are mounted upon the springs 33 that are compressed during downwardmove ment of the arm carrying cymbals 30 into contact with the cymbals 35.

From the above detailed description ofthein vention, it is believedthat the construction' and operation thereof will at once. be: apparent and while thereis herein shownanddescribedthepre ferred embodiment of the invention it-islnevertheless to beunderstoodthat minor changesmay be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

I claim:-
